    Concerned About Graft Security

    Get used to looking hidious for a while. Just leave them alone and they will dry up and fall off. I am at 6 months after mine. Man that first 4 months takes forever. Just don't look in the mirror. You'll just get yourself all bent out of shape. The grafts form connective tissue pretty...

    Been on eucapil for about a year and a half.

    I used Eucapil for a while and saw results, but after a year, I shed all the hair again. I have used scores of products and saw results. Sheds stopped and I got some regrowth. But in every case, it only lasted several months and at the and, I was worse off than ever. After fighting it for 20...

    Anyone know where you can buy bulk azelaic acid?

    I buy a great product on Ebay. 10% minoxidil and 5% Azelaic acid. Works great. Just go there and type that in the search box.

    Shampoos will backfire

    I think caffeinated shampoo is supposed to stimulate scalp blood cirulation. There are similar shampoos with Nicotinate that do better. My opinion of these is that when you get a better blood supply to the follicle, you also get a better supply of DHT. I have used them and get NO RESULTS at...

    1975 grafts Strip at 6 months...

    Interesting. I feel that I have areas that would do well with an additional hair transplant. I can't handle the expense of another mega-session. So what's the deal with a thousand graft session? What's the size of the donor strip? What did it cost? And what exactly do you mean by "virgin scalp"? Do you...

    minoxidil / Rogaine warning...

    I have been using this for years and here is something ZI have noticed: Minoxidil, if used for an extended period of time, will appear to quit working. I'm not sure of the scientific facts concerning this, but it seems that continuous use over a long period of time makes it lose its effects...

    A way to enhance the absorption & penetration of MINOXIDIL

    Emu oil is the #1 thing to use to increase absorbtion. Due to its cellular makeup, it easily penetrates the skin and carries anything present with it. So... The best way to approach it is to 1st, shower and shampoo with hot to warm water, then after towel drying, apply the minoxidil. Wait a minute...

    "Scalp Stimulation"

    Could be. Might also be a simple scalp massage. Feels great, but won't grow any hair.

    1975 grafts Strip at 6 months...

    It was Dr. Paul Weiss in the Cleveland area, but he does work in several states. Sorry, no pics. :( It may be that the fast growing is from 2 things I use. MSM, about 2-4,000 mg/day and a great shampoo called "FAST" made by Nisim. This stuff works. Won't grow new hair at all, but what you have...

    1975 grafts Strip at 6 months...

    I have looked at a lot of before / after pics lately and yes, the average number of grafts is 3,000 to 4,000 for guys with severe hair loss. I believe that I needed that many, but the surgeon said that what I had was a "mega-session" that is, a full day job. I probably actually need more like...

    1975 grafts Strip at 6 months...

    I used to be a poster here a few years ago. I searched a thousand pages. I used everything you can think of. finasteride, minoxidil, vitamins, essential oils, too many herbs to mention, sprays, shampoos, and so many more. I got minor results with finasteride & minoxidil, but I honestly think that vitamins, herbs and...
